Ryan and I are going to Duo these beers that we had canned by hand 4 years ago in Pearland Texas. We enjoyed Vallenson's Brewing so much we went back the next week and left with these two cans dated March 4th 2021. Waited a long time to give these another try. Did not explode on opening, that's a good start. Aroma is the same dark malt and a little boozy for 6.1%. Can't really change anything about my rating 4 years ago. Really surprised. Same soft texture, same malt, same chocolate, same finish. It's a multiple gold medal winning oatmeal Stout and it has aged very well. There have been a lot of changes these last 4 years at Vallenson's but quality has remained consistent.

Here at Vallenson's Brewing to try out their gold medal winning oatmeal stout. Enjoying this with my son-in-law and grandson. Dark brown opaque color. Medium-high dark tan head. Malty aroma. Medium and smooth texture. Flavor is roasted coffee, chocolate and some of the oats in the background. Almost no bitterness. Very smooth finish. This is an excellent beer and worth the trouble to try out a gold medal brew on tap at the brewery.
